This fascinating series tells the stories of people for whom moving home is several times more stressful than the average. Imagine having to move not just the contents of a house but the whole thing – brick walls, roof and all – in one piece, without it falling apart. This is the kind of daunting challenge facing teams of building movers in Monster Moves.

In the first of four programmes we meet Rose, whose house on the outskirts of St Louis, Missouri, has been in her family for more than 100 years. In 1959 a highway was built across her farm, turning the land into prime real estate. For three decades Rose has been fighting off developers who want to demolish her property to make way for a shopping centre. In a final bid to persuade her, developers have said they will move her whole farmstead half a mile to the east. Rose has agreed – on the strict understanding that every single historic feature, including the outbuildings and the 130-year-old fence, will be moved in order to recreate the exact layout of the original house. This programme follows every nailbiting step of the move, which will cost more than £500,000.

Also in the first programme, we follow the move of a 100-year-old house in Nova Scotia, Canada. Its owner is fed up with her commute and is hoping for a more attractive vista, but has had trouble selling the property. Will moving it lock, stock and barrel provide her with the perfect solution?
